NASCAR's season-opening race is at Daytona International Speedway
The NASCAR Cup Series organizes the Daytona 500, which is a 500-mile motorrace. It is held at Daytona International Speedway (Daytona Beach), Florida. Each year, the race draws a worldwide audience of millions of fans.
Although qualifying was cancelled Friday due to rain, NASCAR used a unique metric to determine the order of starting. The driver with the lowest qualifying total starts on the pole, followed by the second and third-place finishers. The 40-car field will include the nine other drivers. Hendrick Motorsports boasts three drivers at the top 15 and will attempt to take advantage by moving up quickly in the field.
